Do217-E4, 5377, U5+GR from 7./KG 2
Hi readers,
In the afternoon of January 4 1944 a Do217-E4 from Gilze-Rijen based 7.KG 2, 5377, U5+GR crashed near the tiny village Molenschot (west of Fliegerhorst Gilze-Rijen) in The Netherlands. a "Absturz infolge Feinbeschuss". The crew of four (Schäfer, Böttcher, Zange and Strenzke) were killed. Anyone with more details? What is considered "Feinbeschuss" ? Is there more detailed information about the exact location? The series of books, "Vijf jaar Luchtfront" about Gilze-Rijen during WW2 is not mentioning the accident. Thanks in advance for any help. Regards, Benno (from Molenschot) |
